SPG2

Note: WIP. Will update the README soon.

Open source project for digitizing the Suraj Prakash Granth. This app is more of an admin tool.

The most important thing you will find in here, is:

1. The database and schema
2. The things we return in the JSON

Context

There was already the SPG repo. But, the truth is, it's much easier for us to work in Ruby on Rails.

We are restructuring the database to include:

• Dr. Bhai Vir Singh footnotes
• Custom footnotes
• Translations for Pauris (instead of individual lines)
• Richtext for footnotes

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Ruby 3.2.1
• Bundler 2.4.7
• sqlite3

1. Clone the Repo
2. Switch to Ruby version 3.2.1 e.g. rvm use 3.2.1
3. bundle install
4. rake db:prepare

Yes, I know this isn't a API or a minified Rails project; we may consider adding the front-end admin section on here, instead of the old SPG repo.

Goals

The number 1 goal should always be to be a slave of Sri Nanak Guru Gobind Singh Ji and make a beautiful application to honour the Maha Kavi Kaviraj Bhai Santokh Singh Ji and his masterpiece, Gurpratap Suraj.

Not pushing a crappy app. The code might be questionable, tho, lol.

Short Term

• Finish manual entry, parsing for the Suraj Prakash Granth .pdf files
• Recreate new DB that can support the main features (footnotes, unicode)
• Add content to DB, like things from Raas 12, etc.

Long Term

(This is not in order. N'or is it a refined list).

• Can we use this database to replace the one on https://spg.dev/books
• [] Can we easily import chapters that have been translated, etc?
• [] Work with ShabadOS so we can researchers and scholars search engine access
• []x Work with Jonathon Collie to make the new SPG front-end app.
• Create a footnote, richtext editor.
